RALPH WILSON, OF NEW YORK, N. Y., ALSSIGNOB THEODORE W. FOSTER & BR O.

(30., 0F PROVIDENCE, R HODE ISLAND, A CORPORATION OF MAINE.

CONTAINER.

Application filed August 12, 1922. Serial No. 581,335.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, RALPH W. WILSON, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Containers, of which the following is a full, clear and exact description, reference being ha to the accompanying drawiiifi, forming part of this specification.

y invention relates to the art of port able receptacles to contain cosmetics and the like and has for its object to produce a vanity box. to contain all the desirable cos metics in a neat, compact and easily accessible manner so that convenience in use may be attained.

My invention consists of certain detailsof constructionhercinafter set forth, pointed out in my claims and illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which-'- Fig. 1 is a view of my device when it is o ened;

Fig. 2 is aplan view of my improvement;

Fig. 3 is a cross section taken on the line 3-3 in Fig. 2.

Fig. 4 is a cross section of the same when the box is closed.

Referring to the accompanying drawings the reference numeral 10 is used to indicate a container for powder, rouge and a lip stick, which is formed of a plate-stamped on one side with .a recess 11 to receive. a. rouge compact and a second elongated recess 13 to receive a li stick. This plate is also provided with a ange 14 which forms a container (on the reverse side of the rouge and lip stick recesses) to receive the powder compact. As suggestedthe powder, also the rouge, is forme in a compact, the powder extending completely across the container and within the wall formed by the flange,

and covers that part of the plate which inside the two hinged covers 18 and 19.

which are suitably connected in spaced relation by a hinge 20. The container 10 is pro vided with hinge members 21 to join with I the hinge which connects the covers and is also provided with an annular protruding portion 22 to fill the space formed between the covers 18 and 19 (by the positioning of the hinge joining them) when the covers are secured in closed position on the container. The flanges of the covers telescope the container until they meet the annular protrudin portion 22 at which time their outer sur aces will be parallel, for, as stated, they. are hinged in spaced relation. By thls construction it is obvious the covers and container are all joined by a common hinge and by grasping the protruding portion 22 the operator may selectively open either. the side containing the powder compact or the side containing the rouge compact and the lip stick-or both if desired. I also provide a mirror 23, and a mirror 24, one on each inside wall of their respective covers.

This invention is an improvement of the device shown and described in my Patent granted to me on the 4th day of April, 1922, and as its function and operation is so obvious further description thereof will be dispensed with.

Having thus described my invention what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. A vanity box comprising a container formed of a plate with an annular flange surroundin same, and two recesses in the plate on t e side opposite the annular flan e, and an annular protruding portion on t e said flange; a pair of covers hinged in. spaced relation to each other, and provided witlr flan es to telescope the wall formed by the ange on the container; a mirror on each of said covers; a quantity of powder in the container on the side opposite the recesses, a quantity of rouge in one of the recesses and a lip stick in the other re- .cess; a pad intermediate each of the mirthe flange on the container; seid container also being frovided with hinge members to be secure to the hinge joining the covers; a mirror on each of said covers; a quantity of powder in the container on the side opposite the recesses, a. quantity of rouge in one of the rece$es and a, lip stick enece in the other recess; a pad intermediate each of the mirrors and its respective rouge and. powder compacts.

In testimony whereof, I hove signed the foregoing specification.
